Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

Elrood

Sovjets enter the fray! :-)

Witt

You DW on Japan? You back stabbing b*****d! I hope you die horribly, horribly.

Elrood

Well, couldn’t DoW on Germany! :-P

We will win in Pacific because of the benefits of our combined arms and superior strategy, while we will win in Germany with the help of you incompetence! :evil:

Elrood

Adam?
Wakey wakey - invasion feels a little shakey! :roll:

Giddy up and roooooooll! :-D

Elrood

To further the current topic:

Sure… attacking in first turn (both for Germany and Japan) seems weak, as most units are simply not in the proper position.

But Allies are really weak in first turn and had no time to react at all yet. I also tend to postpone DoWs until it all looks perfect, but that gives Allies also time to brace to the impact of the assault. That should not be disregarded.

Lets see how pacific looks in Jap3 or Jap4, then we can have another argument about it. But sure Uk feels very much stretched with fighting all 3 Axis powers from Turn 1.

Credulous

Is that like a basketball team or something?
